There is no reason to upgrade to the iPhone 13 or the Mini. The only real upgrade is the Pro and the Pro Max. 

 

Also no AOD and missed opportunity to go above 60hz on the 13 and the mini? 

 

Very much solidifies that the iPhone 12 will be my daily driver for a lot longer and also will probably be my last iPhone? I don't know I'm not impressed with this announcement.

USB C on some of the new iPads, so a move in that direction perhaps?

I think they just enjoy the licencing revenue from lightning more. Hence their iPads are now coming with USB-C but I don't think their phones will for years to come.

USB-C has only been on the pro models since 2018 and we only got USB-C on the Air last year. Also the iPad 10.2 2021 has lighting as well. If this is a move in that direction it's an incredibly slow and inconsistent and quite frankly blue balling way of doing it.

Pretty much has been the case and quite frankly I hate it.

My XS Max is a bit scratched up, so I think I will upgrade it to a 13 Pro to get 5G, Magsafe and what appear to be significant camera improvements.

 

I have some hesitancy around the 13 Pro display being smaller than the XS Max, but I'm not overly keen on the 13 Pro Max because it appears to be very heavy and I like the idea of a slightly smaller device. Then again, it's only $200 difference from what I can see. 

 

Apparently the new magsafe wallet logs its location in 'Find My' when it is separated from its iPhone. That's pretty cool.

My partner would of loved the new watch to have BSL monitoring, perhaps next release.

 

As far as cables go, isn't the EU forcing ALL iDevice manufactures to standardise cables and chargers and to provide both items on purchase??





Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

Nothing particularly whelming for me in this release - under or over. 

 

I'll stick with my 11Pro for another year. 

 

Watch 6 is doing OK too. 

 

iPad Mini is more compelling, but it's too expensive, once you factor in a new Apple Pencil and a case, with no 128gb option, as well.
